spent an hour or so on the parkade, back lanes and parking lots around McKenzie building only saw one bird (Hurricane), Brooklyn must have been hiding on us. When we got to parkade Hurricane was on the nest, we could only see her tail feathers, pretty soon she stood up stretched  perched on the ledge a few minutes and flew off around the south corner and around  to the north of the building. We went to the back of McK Bld. didn't see her when suddenly she flew towards us fairly low, circled around and checked us out,then flew up to north east corner and again gave us the once over,then she flew around to the nest box and out of our sight.No sign of Mr. Brooklyn,there are many places on the north side where it's cool and out of the wind to hide, at least to be out of sight. :)

...Both birds were perched on roof of Mck bldg for a few minutes and I watched and heard Hurricane YELLING (just like her mom) at Brooklyn to go into the nestbox and he did. ;D ;D
Very funny, RCF! LOL! ;D Also, I enjoy your photos... You must have a very good camera if you took those photos from the parkade. :D

Today, I was on the parkade and I took a couple of photo's. First one of Hurricane perched on south light and second one of Brooklyn.  Brooklyn was perched just above the nestbox on McKenzie roof.  There were three guys working across the street on the roof of the old MTS building and Brooklyn was glaring at them.  ;D

 :o Scope is just what one needs to see the nest box up close and personal.  ;D  On the higest power the nest box filled the sights!  :o

Too bad somebirdy wasn't visible.  However, it's cool and cloudy with a good wind so they were prolly hunkered down.

Will be downtown tomorrow afternoon so am planning on taking the new toy with me.  Will let y'all know what I can see with it.  Right now I am looking at small holes in the side of a telephone pole a block away  ;D   they are clearly holes. LOL

tell us more about the scope once you have tried it out. I am thinking of buying one.

Saw both birdies today. Hurricane was on MTS mast this morning and after five pm, Brooklyn was having dinner that Hurricane left earlier on the corner of Mckenzie roof. I should tell you Hurricane was in the nestbox being a good mom.  ;D
